Just in time for the opening ceremonies, however, the sky cleared up, the sun was shining, and a warm day held the field for the remainder of the Games!● See photographs from the games: Picasa Web Album● See YouTube Videos (individual & band): OPSINPDX Videos ● Many OPS members did very well at the games, and you can see the full scoring results on the BCPA web site.We hope you all enjoyed the games as much as we did!
